68t, do you have some more info on the Dutch part of the Reforger, especially on the actual action of going to the depot and getting your equipment etc? Which depot you got the equipment from? Brunssum, Coevorden, Eygelshoven, Vriezenveen, or Ter Apel? Any pics of that would be appreciated as...

We suspected it; they were in our back garden .. no joke, literally. That was one of the reasons there was a very large and peaceful demonstration against nuclear weapons in the Netherlands in November 1981. The Dutch government was going to decide in December 1981 if long-range US nuclear...

Thanks for sharing. As you see, it wakes up old memories.

The Netherlands played an important role in the nuclear defense of Europe, something that was first not fully known publicly and then strongly protested against by the Dutch people. In the late 1950s, the idea was that if the Warsaw Pact countries came close to the "river line defense" (along...

They had a big deployment in Europe in the late 1950 to early 1970. In the Netherlands, they were mounted on International M 139 D Don't know what the D stands for. The Dutch 109 Artillery carried the Honest John, stationed in 't Harde. That area was a big exercise area for the Dutch military...

Steelsoldier 2020 calendar thread: this is the post you need

After posting, on p[age two of this thread, I went to the first page by clicking on the 1, no clearing cache nothing. Lo and behold, on this page suddenly all contestants show up :cookoo::cookoo:

Closed steelsoldiers site, cleared cache, opened the site, logged in, still only sponsor, no contestants. If I right-click on the image, and try to save the image, the login page pops up and I am told I have to be logged in to do that. However, I was already logged in. Once I login through...

I cleared and redid a lot of things in my PC due to a windows update messing up my local network. However, the problem continues also this morning. Can see the sponsor pic in patracy's first post, but not the contestants.

My laptop has the same problem.

ok this is weird. Until now, inside Patracy's first post, I could see the first image of the sponsor, but not the following images from the contestants. This time I closed the steelsoldiers site, cleaned cache, opened the site again, went without login in to the MV of January page. None of...

I tried that, cleaned cache etc, no dice. Also, I can see the pics for the MV of the Year and other pics without problems, but not those six from Patracy's post. However, when I hover over them and choose "view image" a new page pops up that I have to login first, but that page works strange...

patracy, pics are "broken", can't see them. Other pics are ok, only those in your post.

One and the same. Founded by Addison Ward LaFrance in 1916. What's in a name.

I now see that the boom has not been installed yet, but on one picture it looks like its there already. Nice shot.

Jeff is too modest. Seeing the last additions restoring the boom to his Federal 602 wrecker made the choice very easy. The others are worthy contestants, but this one is special , not many left, and should be saved and honored even if not yet as nicely restored as the others. More details...

Some details of Ward laFrance cranes I collected in Europe. Love to have one. With in German details on the crane and weights when using a block and tackle

US6x4, no "before", "during" and "after" pics?
